The properties of sputtered and scattered ions are studied for ion beam sputtering of Si by bombardment with noble gas ions. The energy distributions in dependence on ion beam parameters (ion energy: 0.5 - 1 keV; ion species: Ne, Ar, Xe)…
Hexagonally arranged Au nano particles (NPs) exhibiting a broad size distribution ranging from 30 nm to 80 nm with a Gaussian shape were deposited on Si substrates and irradiated with Ar+ and Ga+ ions with various energies from 20 to 350…
The sputtering of hexagonal boron nitride due to low energy xenon ion bombardments occurs in various applications including fabrication of cubic boron nitride and erosion of Hall thruster channel walls. At low ion energies, accurate…
We have measured the absolute doubly differential angular sputtering yield for 20 keV Kr+ impacting a polycrystalline Cu slab at an incidence angle of {\theta}i = 45{\deg} relative to the surface normal. Sputtered Cu atoms were captured…
New developments in quantitative sputter depth profiling during the past ten years are reviewed, with special emphasis on the experimental achievement of ultrahigh depth resolution (below 2 nm for sputtered depths larger than 10 nm). In…
Molecular dynamics simulations are often used to study sputtering and thin film growth. Compressive stresses in these thin films are generally assumed to be caused by a combination of forward sputtered (peened) built-in particles and…
Atomistic force fields that are tuned to describe folded proteins predict overly compact structures for intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). To correct this, improvements in force fields to better model IDPs are usually paired with…
A new experimental equipment allowing to study the sputtering induced by ion beam irradiation is presented. The sputtered particles are collected on a catcher which is analyzed in situ by Auger electron spectroscopy without breaking the…
We propose an ambitious new method that models the intracluster medium in clusters of galaxies as a set of X-ray emitting smoothed particles of plasma. Each smoothed particle is described by a handful of parameters including temperature,…
Diamond is a promising candidate for enhancing the negative-ion surface production in the ion sources for neutral injection in fusion reactors; hence evaluation of its reactivity towards hydrogen plasma is of high importance. High quality…
- We made use of a combination of three models that describe plasma equilibrium, cluster kinetics and aerosol dynamics in order to investigate solid carbonaceous dust formation in a DC gas discharge where the carbon source is provided by a…
The interpretation of experiments on reactive semiconductor surfaces requires statistically significant sampling of molecular dynamics, but conventional ab initio methods are limited due to prohibitive computational costs. Machine-learning…
Magnetron sputtering is an essential technique in combinatorial materials science, enabling the efficient synthesis of thin-film materials libraries with continuous compositional gradients. For exploring multidimensional search spaces,…
We use the MACSIS hydrodynamical simulations to estimate the extent of gas clumping in the intracluster medium of massive galaxy clusters and how it affects the hydrostatic mass bias. By comparing the clumping to the azimuthal scatter in…
We present the mass-X-ray observable scaling relationships for clusters of galaxies using the XMM-Newton cluster catalog of Snowden et al. Our results are roughly consistent with previous observational and theoretical work, with one major…
Under cold conditions in dense cores, gas-phase molecules and atoms are depleted from the gas-phase to the surface of interstellar grains. Considering the time scales and physical conditions within these cores, a portion of these molecules…
For the first time primary hot isotope distributions are experimentally reconstructed in intermediate heavy ion collisions and used with antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) calculations to determine density, temperature and symmetry…
The Microstrip Silicon Detector (MSD) is one of the subsystems of the FragmentatiOn Of Target (FOOT) experiment whose goal is to measure double differential nuclear fragmentation cross sections for applications in particle therapy and…
The conversion of magnetic energy into other forms during solar flares is one of the outstanding open problems in solar physics. It is generally accepted that magnetic reconnection plays a crucial role in these conversion processes. To…
We present a molecular dynamics simulation scheme that we apply to study the time evolution of the self-organized growth process of metal cluster assemblies formed by sputter-deposited gold atoms on a planar surface. The simulation model…
